Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Muirhead
Glass replacement is not something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens, and people most often call us about water escaping where a screen meets the wall and split or lifting silicone on glass.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dundee.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
Frames and glazing around Muirhead
Dundee’s older tenements are sandstone, and the city sits on the Firth of Tay, so glazing joints and frame seals on walls facing the water can take plenty of weather. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Invergowrie station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Camperdown House, about 1.3 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Muirhead, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Muirhead
Is Muirhead in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Muirhead is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Muirhead?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Photos help us see what’s there.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. We use anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Outside jobs in Muirhead need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass-to-frame joints

How we quote for glazing silicone
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before

When to call us in Muirhead
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
Look out for these signs:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Managing a site like Menzieshill High School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

- Is the old sealant removed completely?
